City’s Web Site Makes it Easy to Search for Local Businesses

GREENSBORO, NC (March 9, 2010) – In an effort to support the economic growth of Greensboro’s business community, the City of Greensboro is now making it easier to lookup businesses with a new privilege licensees search feature on its Web site at www.greensboro-nc.gov/businesses/privilegelookup.htm. You can now search for a business by its name or its owner’s name and by type.

To be included on this database, business owners must purchase a business privilege license and renew it annually. This can be done by submitting a completed privilege license application, including required fee(s), to the City’s Collection Division. Being included on the list is optional.

For more information about this listing, contact the City’s Collection Division at 336-373-2501.
